Cascadia Movement
The Cascadia Movement is a regionalist initiative that advocates for the independence of the Cascadia bioregion, which includes parts of the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Proponents believe the area shares a unique culture, economy, and ecology that justifies its separation from the larger nations of the United States and Canada. The movement emphasizes sustainability, environmental protection, and local governance, inspired by the region's diverse communities and natural beauty. While the idea of secession remains mostly theoretical, it reflects a desire for more localized decision-making and a stronger regional identity.
